Forklift Operator Training

Does my operator have at least 20 hours of operation on the machine – prior to training?

Do they have a valid drivers license?

Have they been re-certified in the past two years?

Also, the equipment to be compliant it must be safety checked every 250 hours or minimum 6 months and must have a back-up device, strobe, mirrors, seat/seat belt and E-brake.
